Semantic primitives and compositionality: An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) paper

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The term semantic primitives refers to a set of basic, atomic concepts from which all other (compound) concepts are constructed. It presupposes the principle of compositionality—the idea that complex items or expressions can be formed by combining simpler constituents.

Early lexical processing of Chinese one-character words and Mongolian words: A comparative study using event-related potentials

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
Logographic language and alphabetic language differ significantly in orthography. Investigating the commonality and particularity of visual word recognition between the two distinct writing systems is informative for understating the neural mechanisms ...

The Role of the Brain's Pragmatic Language Network in Reading Comprehension in Autistic Children

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the earliest and commonly reported symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a delay in language development. Such delay may sometimes accompany deficits which can have a long‐term impact on reading comprehension. It is frequently reported that autistic children exhibit significant difficulties in pragmatics, which is the ...

Semantic priming effects of synonyms, antonyms, frame, implication and verb-object categories [PDF]

open access: yesLogos et Littera: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Text, 2017
Semantic priming has been a major subject of interest for psycholinguists, whose aim is to discover how lexical memory is structured and organized. The facilitation process of word retrieval through semantic priming has long been studied.

Cognitive processes in categorical and associative priming: a diffusion model analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cognitive processes and mechanisms underlying different forms of priming were investigated using a diffusion model approach. In a series of 6 experiments, effects of prime-target associations and of a semantic and affective categorical match of prime and

An Autistic “Linguatype”? Neologisms, New Words, and New Insights

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this commentary, we present new ideas about autistic neologisms. This essay has two primary goals. First, we argue that an autistic predilection to form neologisms generates intriguing new hypotheses about language in autism, including the possibility that a tendency to use neologisms could be a featural element of an autistic “linguatype” (

Effect of schooling in auditory lexical decision

open access: yesDementia & Neuropsychologia
The task of lexical decision demands the functioning of the phonological loop to identify and discriminate strings of sounds and lexical knowledge to identify if this string can be taken as a real word or pseudo-word.

Towards a distributed connectionist account of cognates and interlingual homographs: evidence from semantic relatedness tasks [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Background Current models of how bilinguals process cognates (e.g., “wolf”, which has the same meaning in Dutch and English) and interlingual homographs (e.g., “angel”, meaning “insect’s sting” in Dutch) are based primarily on data from lexical decision ...
